An explosive tale of conspiracy, betrayal and twisted loyalties in postwar London. London, 1946. The war is over — but not the danger. Irish policeman and former resistance leader Brendan O’Connor thought his battles ended with the fall of the Reich. But when a deadly fascist plot surfaces, threatening Britain’s fragile democracy, he’s dragged back into the fight. Worse still, O’Connor’s reluctant partner is a man he hates: a former SS general, now granted immunity, whose loyalty remains uncertain. Together, they chase a bloodstained trail through the shadowy ruins of a city struggling to recover — and into the heart of a ruthless conspiracy determined to revive the fascist cause. As betrayal mounts and violence escalates, O’Connor faces the hardest choice of his life: risk everything to stop the rise of tyranny once more — or walk away from justice forever. 'Murder and Masquerade' is a dark, fast-paced alternative history thriller — perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Philip Kerr and wartime espionage fiction.
